GEE-GEE – A1071081
Safe - 4-28-2016 Brooklyn Rescue: Feline Rescue of SI Please honor your pledges: http://felinerescueofstatenisland.org/donation/
**SAFE 04/28/16** Here’s a question for all pet owners out there, or even, for anyone who has loved an animal. What do you hope for, for the sunset years of their lives? Do you hope they will be confined to a jail cell, not feeling their best, simply marking time until an uncaring municipal agency puts an end to it all? Of course not. No one wants that, for any animal. Then, here’s another question—why should that be allowed to happen to GEE GEE? This is a 15-year-old stray lady who is utterly at the mercy of everyone who sees this thread right now, and for whom good things are still possible. A sunny windowsill. A soft bed. Maybe some medication so she can feel her best. None of that is off the table, but ALL of it depends on a foster/adopter working with a NEW HOPE rescue to make that happen for her, tonight!
